THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Ttii: liio trr To .Struck. If the strike is not illegal, then the “sympathetic" strike must also be tolerated, so long as it does not assume the political or coercive character of a. general strike. When we reach this last point in the argument, the Labour leaders, who, like Mr Bamsav MacDonald, Mr Thomas, and Mr dynes, condemned last year’s general strike, find themselves in an awkward position. For they have admitted that under some circumstances a strike maybe a grave .public danger, and in such case only the State, aided by Hi.; Courts, can handle the situation effectively. As a matter of fact, tie Government inis had a strong case i. r its Bill on paper all nioitg. I? :t. the trouble is that the mass of the workers distrust the Government, and suspict its motives, and because i>‘. the circumstances under which this Pill l.as been produced they impute to Mr Baldwin and bis colleagues the deliberate. intention of crippling the unions and destroying the Labour movement by making all strikes illegal. —•Auckland Paper.
